Stand Completed ?
Posted By Scott on March 26, 2010
It took a year but I do think I have my keyboard stand, tier, sheet music holder with light and a boom mike stand all figured out. My new drummer throne seat is on back order so I’ll save that for another post. The stand is a OnStage Platform stand with the add on On-Stage Stands Deluxe 2nd Tier. Both items were purchased at SweetWater Pro Music. The light fixture I got at the local Andersons hardware store. That fixture has a base with holes that make mounting it a snap. I fastened the top of an old sheet music stand on one set of the tier arms. I don’t know if I will but I may place my DR-880 on the tier arms in the future. I’m also interested in that new Roland VP-7 voice effect box but I got to think on that for a while. The Roland PK-5A bass pedal unit needs a lot of room and that’s why you need a platform table like stand with legs that angle out a bit.
The mike stand is an On-Stage Stand MS9701TB and I love how it adjusts. I had planned on mounting the mike on a goose-neck via an attachment that went right on the tier bar. However that didn’t work. When you get playing hard there is a thump when you hit bottom on the keys and that sound vibration gets transferred to the stand and to the goose-neck arm and to the mike. So a mike arm not attached to the keyboard stand is the only way to go.
